In the fantastical and mysterious world of Star Tower Travelers, building an efficient dark attribute team is not simply a matter of piecing together characters, but requires comprehensive and systematic deep planning from character configuration, secret rune synergy to practical combat strategies. How to play the dark team in Star Tower Travelers is essentially about analyzing a lineup, as currently, everyone can form different teams according to their chosen factions. Below is a detailed analysis of the core gameplay for a dark team.
In terms of team building, the dark team follows the classic structure of a main controller + two support roles. For the core support role, Cronis is an excellent choice. Cronis wields a scythe with an extremely wide attack range, capable of covering a large area on the battlefield. Moreover, each of his attacks comes with a dark attribute enhancement effect. This unique attribute bonus provides stable group damage enhancement for the entire team. The selection of the main controller role is equally crucial; the remote mage Misty becomes the top choice due to her outstanding dark attribute magic.

Misty's magic not only has high damage output but also possesses crowd control skills. By releasing a gravitational vortex, Misty can concentrate enemy units, creating an ideal environment for subsequent attacks. This way, teammates' attacks can more accurately hit enemies, avoiding scattered firepower. For the second support position, it is recommended to choose a melee burst type character, Cosette. Cosette has powerful dash skills that allow her to quickly finish off low-health enemies during battles. Additionally, while attacking, Cosette can generate dark energy crystals, which play a significant role by accelerating the charging speed of the main controller's ultimate skill.

This combination can form a complete chain of crowd control - field control - burst in battle, which is quite efficient when facing densely packed enemies. First, Misty uses her crowd control skill to gather enemies, then Cronis utilizes the dark attribute enhancement effect to deal damage to the grouped enemies. Finally, Cosette charges into the battlefield with her powerful burst ability to harvest low-health enemies. In terms of the team's secret rune assembly, it is recommended to prioritize the Witch's Swing.

This secret rune increases dark attribute damage by 25%, providing a good boost for continuous damage dealers who need to constantly release skills to maintain damage output. The Witch's Swing offers a significant increase in their output. Greedy Wolf and Tiger Gaze is also an essential secret rune, as it not only extends control time by 1.5 seconds, making Misty's crowd control skill last longer and keeping enemies immobilized for a longer period, thus creating a better output environment for the main controller and support roles, but also increases critical hit rate by 30%.
Midnight Meow Bell, as a sustain assurance secret rune, is also suitable for this team. Because the energy consumption of characters is very fast, and Midnight Meow Bell restores 5% of maximum energy value every time 3 targets are defeated, ensuring the smoothness of the skill cycle. Whether it's the main controller or the support roles, they all rely on energy values to release skills. In practical combat, it is suggested to start with prioritizing the release of Misty's Shadow Servant skill, which can attract enemy aggro on the battlefield. Once the enemies are successfully gathered by the Shadow Servant, follow up with Cronis's Abyssal Scythe Dance for area-of-effect strikes.

Abyssal Scythe Dance has strong group damage capabilities, dealing widespread damage to gathered enemies. As the battle progresses, the team will enter an energy burst phase. At this stage, switch to Cosette quickly and use her Shadow Assault Thrust to deliver high single-target damage. Shadow Assault Thrust is very effective against key enemy units or low-health enemies. It is recommended to level up the character to 35 to unlock the Lightless Mark passive skill, which is very practical as it adds a 15% vulnerability effect to dark attribute skills.
In actual combat, with these skills, dark attribute damage becomes even more impressive. Both the main controller's crowd control and the support roles' damage output can be significantly enhanced due to the vulnerability effect. During the progression through multi-layered stages, at the beginning of each layer, reserve Cosette's Shadow Evasion skill, which allows Cosette to enter a brief stealth state, either to dodge enemy attacks or to quickly approach enemies.

Now you know how to play the dark team in Star Tower Travelers. However, when using this team, it should be noted that the dark team has a clear attribute counter relationship. Therefore, in light attribute stages, the dark team can exert 200% damage advantage, which is very effective for quickly clearing stages and improving combat efficiency. You can take advantage of this.
